Methodological
Note

The poll
was conducted Aug. 29 to Sept. 8 using Knowledge Networks' web-enabled
panel, which provides a representative sample of Californian households.
Of the 1,429 adults invited to participate in the survey, 852 (60%)
completed the survey in time for inclusion in the analysis. Of these,
549 (64%) respondents reported an intention to vote in the special election.
Of these, 528 (96%) reported to be registered voters. The margin of
error for the total sample of 852 adults is 3.4 percentage points. The
margin of error for the sample of 528 registered and likely voters is
4.3 percentage points.

The candidate
question was presented to replicate the question on the ballot. The
135 candidates were listed in the order determined by the California
Secretary of State's alphabet drawing held Aug. 11, 2003. The official
candidate list was rotated 80 times to represent the 80 State Assembly
Districts in conformance with the Secretary of State's rotation plan.
The option for a write-in candidate was presented last. Once the candidate
list was rotated 80 times, it was returned to the candidate list for
State Assembly District 1, and again rotated 80 times. This cycle was
repeated for all interviews. Since there are more than 80 candidates,
not every name has a chance to be displayed at the top of the list.
For each candidate, the name and party affiliation were shown.

The survey
results were weighted to U.S. Census population benchmarks for adults
residing in the State of California in terms of age, race/ethnicity,
education obtainment, and urban/rural.
